Local Expertise
Experts From Local Experience
They often say that the best way to learn is to do, and that is exactly what we did long ago. We are vacation homeowners ourselves, and so we know firsthand all that goes into making it a success. When you choose GetAway Vacations as your new property managers you get to take the trial and error out of the experience; as we already have gone down that road, saving you the hassle. We are well familiar with everything from marketing strategies to guest relations, to handling maintenance, and all the other responsibilities and knowledge that come with the field! As well, we are all locals here and thus your home won’t be managed by someone who has never even seen it in person and manages things through phone calls. Rather, we live in the area and thus can keep an eye on your property and ensure that it is treated with all the love and respect that we would our own home. As well, we are experts in content marketing and partner with all the major booking sites. This ensures that your home is seen by the masses so that in no time they will be lined up for the chance to be lucky enough to stay in your lovely and welcoming property.
Owners First
Owners First
There is nothing worse than feeling like you are being taken advantage of and being seen as just a number on a spreadsheet and a way to get a bigger number in the bank. We understand this having been owners ourselves, and we know that in this field it is not us who is important, but rather you. For this reason, you can rest assured that you will not only be treated with respect but also be in control the entire time. We use a dynamic pricing model that uses real-time algorithms to calculate the perfect price for your rental based on several factors. However, at the end of the day, the home is yours so you choose the minimum amount and we will respect that as this is your home; we are simply here to keep an eye on things and help you out. As well, unlike other companies, we don’t believe that owners should be responsible for accidents. After all, things happen and you shouldn’t suffer due to another’s bad luck. For this reason, you’ll be pleased to know that each guest is covered for up to $3,000 in accidental damages! As well, we don’t believe you should be bothered with those small annoying things like paying for light bulbs or new batteries for the remotes, these are the little things that we feel are our responsibility to replace and be responsible for. Finally, we understand that this is your home and there are times that you’ll want to come to stay and take advantage of your second escape. For this reason, we will never make money off you staying at your own home, and all you need to do is let us know the dates and we’ll ensure the property is empty for your use and enjoyment. However, if you are interested in having housekeeping prepare the house for you along with fresh linen, we are more than happy to give you a discounted rate for those services.
Full-Service Care
Taking Care Of The Small Things
While we are more than happy to take care of the complexities of marketing, and the stresses of guest relations, and ensure that only the best photos are used for advertising; we also take care of the smaller things. For instance, never worry about maintenance in your new home as our in-house set of maintenance experts will take care of everything from electrical, to heating, to plumbing, to appliance repair, and everything in between! As well, we make sure to take care of the issues before they become genuine problems. We all know it’s cheaper to prevent issues than fix them, after all. As well, our in-house professional housekeeping team will ensure that your home looks as fresh and clean as the day you first laid eyes upon it. We all are aware of the importance of first impressions; our guest pre-arrival inspection will ensure that even the guests are amazed at the cleanliness of your home! Finally, you need not worry about navigating the treacherous swamp that is the world of bureaucracy and paperwork. We will take care of all the reporting and taxes to ensure that all you must do is sit back and reap the rewards of your investment.
